ST.JOHN'S SEMIFINAL TONIGHT IS OFF

Tues 31 Mar - The U16 Shield semifinal at Hill of Beath between St.John's and St.Margaret's HS Airdrie is postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. Better news is that the U15 Girls beat St.Peter the Apostle HS 2-1 yesterday to reach the final v. Banff Ac. or Cults Ac. from Aberdeen.

ST.JOHN'S IN TWO NATIONAL SEMIFINALS

Thur 12 Mar - Well done to St.John's HS whose boys and girls have reached two national semifinals.

Last week the U15 Girls team edged out local rivals Forfar Academy 4-3 in their TSB Shield quarterfinal played at DISC. In the semifinal they will play St.Peter the Apostle HS (Clydebank) at Meggetland Astroturf, Edinburgh, on Thursday 26th March at 1.30.

Today the U16 Boys team faced the long trek to Stranraer Academy but came away with a 4-2 victory. Their opponents in the semifinal will be St.Margaret's HS (Airdrie) on Tuesday 31st March at Hill of Beath at 6.15, admission £3 for adults, £2 for concessions.

Our local teams have been coming up with the "Last 4" goods in recent years, with the Seniors winning the National Trophy in 2012 on that memorable night at Dens Park against Forth Valley, then in 2013 the U15s reaching the National Trophy Final against Lanarkshire while Harris U14s reached the Plate Final against St.Mungo's HS, followed by Monifieth playing in the Senior Shield Semifinal v. Springburn Academy in 2014 and the U15s lifting the National Trophy against Ayrshire. However it is probably a first for the Dundee area to have one school reaching two national semifinals in the the same season, particularly one for the boys and one for the girls. We wish them all success.

CUP DRAWS MADE

Tues 3 Mar - The draws have been made for the Primary Section Cups and the Secondary Cups. The draws are all posted at the foot of the Primary page and the Secondary page.

Dundee Schools' Football Association is once again delighted to be involved with both Arab Trust and DFCSS and is grateful for their continued support.

SENIORS OUT AFTER STIRLING LOSS

Wed 12 Nov - In the deciding game in Group 2 Forth Valley came from behind to knock Dundee out of the Senior National Trophy. It is the first time in a few years that the Seniors will not be able to look forward to a quarterfinal game after Christmas. With several players absent there were a few new faces in the line-up and there was little between the teams in the first half. Forth Valley had some good chances but their shooting was wayward and Dundee made them pay right on the halftime whistle when a great move down the left between Derryn Kesson and Jack Neave ended with the latter's cross to the far post where Lee Maloney finished from 6 yards out, 0-1 (44). Lee had only just come on for Cameron McMahon who had picked up a knock.

Forth Valley equalised on the hour with a run down the left and shot into the far corner, 1-1 (60), and went ahead from the penalty spot after a rash tackle from the keeper in the box, 2-1 (70). With all the subs on the park Dundee were reduced to ten men when Conor Samson had to limp off after a bad tackle and the home team took advantage to score two late goals and make the final score 4-1. Following the previous results only a win would have been good enough for Dundee to qualify, so the Senior dream is over for this season.

Thur 6 Nov - Fife started strongly and Dundee defended poorly in the opening half-hour and it looked all over at 0-3, but Dundee fought back to trail 2-3 at the break. The visitors only took five minutes to open the scoring with a cross from the right knocked in at the near post, 0-1 (5). As Dundee struggled to make an impact it was no surprise that Fife doubled the lead when a cross from the left was only parried and the loose ball was put in at the far post, 0-2 (14). A slack backpass presented Fife with an open goal which they gladly accepted, 0-3 (27).

Dundee came into the game and Darren Forbes scored a magnificent solo goal, drifting in from the right 20 yards out and curling a left-foot shot in at the far post, 1-3 (37). Three minutes later the comeback was on when Liam Gibb crossed from the right and Logan Davie finished at the far post, 2-3 (40).

Callum Faulkner then scored a solo effort to put Dundee level, 3-3 (58) but the good work was almost immediately undone as Fife fired home from the right into the far corner, 3-4 (60). Then a run down the right and shot to the near post put the visitors two in front again, 3-5 (66).

With five minutes left Dundee were given a lifeline as a poor Fife tackle in the box saw the referee point to the spot, Derryn Kesson finishing comfortably, 4-5 (85). However another defensive slip let in the visitors to restore their two-goal lead and clinch top spot in the table.

Dundee now need to win their last game away to Forth Valley on Wednesday 12th November in order to qualify.

SENIORS START WITH SIX AGAINST PERTH & KINROSS

Tues 7 Oct - After the disappointment of a weather cancellation the day before in the U15 National Trophy and with more bad weather forecast it was decided to switch the venue for the Senior National Trophy game to DISC, courtesy of Morgan Academy.

After a fairly even start Ryan Hunter scored from outside the box in the 6th minute. Gavin Cathro doubled the lead near the half-hour mark after a good run down the right and Paul Callaghan volleyed in a Kieran Ross free kick for 3-0 in the 36th minute. Three minutes later Ryan Hunter scored his second of the match with a smash from distance for 4-0 and keeper Caelan Flynn saved a P&K penalty right on the halftime whistle.

On the hour Dundee went 5 up when a glorious pass from Ryan Hunter sent Gavin Cathro free down the right to score a great solo goal. With all the outfield subs getting on for a taste of the action Dundee made it 6-0 five minutes from time when Logan Davie sent in a cross from the left which was too inviting for a P&K defender who was unfortunate to divert the ball past his own keeper.

Mon 15 Sept - The Junior Sports Cup draw is on the Primary page near the foot. In the Secondary Leagues Braeview have withdrawn from the U16 League but have joined the Senior League. Craigie have joined the U15 League and Morgan have joined the U13 League and U14 League (17 Sept). Fixtures for all of these are on the Secondary page.

Looking back to the season just finished we did well to have everything completed by the summer holidays, considering the difficulties of a long winter.

Heavy rain started as far back as September when the road to Bridgefoot was cut off by floods.

The long freeze started in December and ran through till early March. Some games did manage to get played in the winter but there were probably more cancellations than games played, as even all-weather surfaces were affected.

1st game played in the month of July (Arab Trust U16 Champions League decider, Morgan beating St.Paul's).

1st season for the Dundee Girls Football League and the Small Schools League - both very successful ventures.

1st time a Junior Sports Cup game was played indoors (Craigowl v. Whitfield).

1st time a game was cancelled by volcanic ash (U16 Dundee United Cup 1st Round St.Paul's v. Morgan in mid-April).

1st time a semifinal was abandoned by lightning (Craigiebarns v. Dens Road in the Thomson Cup at the end of May).

1st time that cup finals were played in 3 regions (most were played in Dundee but the U16 Caira Trophy Final took place at Monifieth in Angus, the U13 Logie Cup Final and some Primary finals at Invergowrie in Perth & Kinross). For the record we have played in Fife before when a Caira Trophy Final took place at Tayport some years ago.

Downfield survived some early pressure and scored from a corner on the left, but SS Peter & Paul went 2-1 up before Downfield equalised near halftime. The end-to-end entertainment continued into the second half, SSPP taking a 3-2 lead but Downfield pegged them back at 3-3 from the penalty spot.. With plenty of shots off the woodwork, goalline clearances and fine goalkeeping the result was in doubt till the end. With a penalty shoot-out looming SS Peter & Paul won a corner on the left and the ball was bundled in for a last-gasp winner. Well done to both sides who never gave up in conditions not suited to the beautiful game, but fought out an exciting contest in a sporting and skilful manner.

Then Kal Handy looked offside when he broke through the middle for Morgan but his lob hit the bar. Morgan scored what was to be the winner when Ashton Milroy headed in a corner from the left.

Two goals in a minute near the hour mark put Dundee right back in it, Matt McKinnon scoring for 3-1 then setting up Mark Smith for 3-2. Two very good goals from Forth Valley made it 5-2, though in between Mark Smith hit a fierce shot towards the top left corner which the keeper somehow managed to turn onto the junction of bar and post.

Harris scored three in three minutes to go 6-5 up, Baldragon crashed in a cracker for 6-6 with ten minutes left but Harris broke a minute from the end to snatch the winner!

Tuesday 16th September

Grove beat Harris 3-2 in the Arab Trust DFCSS Senior League. In a dramatic last-minute Harris were denied a good penalty claim then Grove had a goal attempt kicked off the line on the final whistle. Grove's winner from Steve Howie was an early contender for Goal of the Season, controlling the ball on his chest on the edge of the box and shooting on the turn just inside the post - reminiscent of James for Colombia in the World Cup!

NEWS FROM LAST SEASON

Wed 25 June - The final game of the season gave the Arab Trust DFCSS Senior League to Menzieshill, even though they were not playing.

Menzieshill had let the chance to win outright slip in their last game at Monifieth a week before. Monifieth needed to win now to earn the title, but came a cropper against Morgan who were 2 up in four minutes and never looked back. Both teams were missing a few of their regular line-up so some younger players took the chance to show what they could do. Liam Fitzsimmons and Kal Handy fitted in well as Morgan showed this was no end-of-season affair, Kal Handy completing a hat-trick with a spectacular bicycle kick.

MENZIESHILL TAKE THE ARAB TRUST DFCSS SENIOR SHIELD

In a feast of football at St.John's it was Grove who won the DFCSS U13 League with an 8-5 win. Apart from the 13 goals there were plenty of shots from both sides against post and bar. St.John's made it really exciting, coming back from 5-1 down shortly before halftime to equalise at 5-5 with eight minutes to go. However Grove scored three late goals to add the league title to their cup win.

GROVE WIN THE DFCSS U13 LEAGUE

St.John's won the Arab Trust U16 League beating Grove 4-2 in what was effectively a play-off. Then Monifieth beat Grove 3-1 in the deciding game to win the DFCSS U14 League, completing a league and cup double. In the Arab Trust U15 League St.John's had to avoid defeat in their last game against Morgan, in a repeat of the cup final, and found themselves behind in the third minute. Level at halftime, St.John's scored two right after the break and won 4-1 to complete the double.

Menzieshill scored twice in two minutes at the start of the second half to lift the Grant Trophy - this is one of Menzieshill's favourites, having won it 6 times since 2003. See match report and photos.

Tues 27 May - Dundee won the TSB U15 National Trophy for the first time since 1988 in an exciting game against Ayrshire on a lovely sunny evening at Broxburn Athletic's Albyn Park.

Ayrshire struck first in the 16th minute but Dundee were soon level when Taylor Carroll equalised from close range after a corner created havoc in the Ayrshire box. On the half-hour Ayrshire went back in front from a quick break through the middle. Ayrshire curled one just wide and high over the far post on the halftime whistle but it was still 2-1 to Ayrshire at the break.

Dundee levelled for the 2nd time three minutes after the interval when Adam Brown connected with a cross from Ben Mooney after good work from Mark Smith. Ten minutes later Dundee took the lead for the first time when Ben Mooney broke through the centre to put Dundee 3-2 up. Ayrshire rattled the bar with 10 minutes of normal time left, but it was Dundee who increased the lead a few minutes from time when Rory Faulkner finished at the far post following good football on the right from Kyle Anderson and Ben Mooney. Deep into time added on Ayrshire won a penalty but keeper David Beattie saved and the final whistle moments later sparked off great celebrations.

ADAM BROWN CELEBRATES HIS EQUALISER FOR 2-2

Dundee captain Ryan Smith, the only Dundee player who took part in last year's final defeat to Lanarkshire, lifted the trophy for the first time in 26 years. Thanks to all the parents and supporters who made the way through to support the boys on a memorable evening.

MONIFIETH AND ST.JOHN'S WIN AT VIOLET

Fri 16 May - A beautiful sunny evening drew in the crowds to Glenesk Park for two finals. Thanks to Violet for hosting the finals traditionally played at Dens Park which was unavailable this season because of the major work being done on the pitch. Both finals had extra spice as the same teams appeared in their respective finals last year.

In the U14 Urquhart Trophy Final (sponsored by the Dee Club) Monifieth beat Grove 5-1 to reverse last year's Logie Cup defeat. Monifieth scored from a free kick in the 14th minute and led 2-0 ten minutes later from the penalty spot. Grove pulled one back near halftime but Monifieth scored twice early in the second half to go 4-1 up. Monifieth scored an excellent 5th goal to wrap up their first-ever win in the Urquhart Trophy. See match report.

MONIFIETH WITH THE U14 URQUHART TROPHY (SPONSORED BY THE DEE CLUB)

In the U15 Senior Sports Cup Final (sponsored by DFCSS) St.John's won a close competitive match 2-1 against Morgan. Morgan who had won the Urquhart Trophy against St.John's last year with a wonder goal followed by a rearguard action at Dens attacked from the start, but it was St.John's who scored first with a far-post header from Kieran Conway midway through the first half. Morgan hit a post, had a shot tipped onto the bar and eventually smashed in an equaliser a few minutes from time through Kyle Reid. However St.John's regained the lead a minute or so later with a superb strike from Nathan Scott, and St.John's held on to reverse their defeat of last year. Liam Clarke of St.John's picked up the DFCSS Man of the Match award. See match report.

Dundee play Ayrshire on Tuesday 27th May in the TSB U15 National Trophy Final at Broxburn Athletic's Albyn Park with a 7.00 kick-off. Admission prices for the National Final are £5 for adults and £3 for concessions.

ST.PAUL'S AND GROVE WIN AT TANNADICE

Tues 13 May - After a slightly delayed start to allow pitch inspections following the heavy showers, thunder, lightning and hailstones which had hit Dundee throughout the afternoon St.Paul's won their first ever U16 Dundee United Cup (sponsored by Arab Trust) at Tannadice. Two goals from Jordan Elder, one direct from a free kick on the touchline in the 3rd minute, and the other a calm finish near halftime gave St.Paul's a 2-0 lead against Morgan at the break. St.Paul's had a penalty saved in the second half and the game finished in a 2-0 win for the greens. See match report.

U15s WIN SEMIFINAL 2-0 AT WHITTON PARK

Mon 24 Mar - Dundee won through to the TSB U15 National Trophy Final with a 2-0 win over Aberdeenshire at Broughty Athletic's Whitton Park.

The first half was fairly even with both sides having one good chance - Aberdeenshire looked odds-on to score with a lob over the keeper but Lewis Finnie raced back to clear on the line with a fantastic overhead kick. Dundee's best chance fell to Ben Mooney who shot narrowly wide of the far post.

Two second-half goals put Dundee into the final for the second year in a row. Ten minutes into the half a throw-in was flicked on to Kieran Paton who picked the ball up and rolled it into the far corner, 1-0. Three minutes later a Liam Fitzsimmons corner on the right was headed powerfully into the net by captain Ryan Smith, 2-0.

In the final Dundee play the winner of Lanarkshire v. Ayrshire who meet on Thursday. Dundee beat Ayrshire last year 1-0 in the semifinal at Whitton Park, then lost to Lanarkshire 2-0 in the final, so this year's final will be a meeting against old opponents and is guaranteed to be another hard encounter. Update - Ayrshire beat Lanarkshire 4-2.

Thanks to all the supporters who came along to Whitton Park to cheer the boys on.

RYAN SMITH HEADS HOME FOR 2-0 TO SEND DUNDEE INTO THE FINAL

SENIORS LOSE ON PENALTIES IN QUARTERFINAL

Tues 25 Feb - Dundee lost to Lothian on penalties in the quarterfinal of the TSB Senior National Trophy. There was nothing in it in the first half, with the best chance being an overhead kick from Lothian which was tipped over for a corner near halftime. Near the hour mark Jack Neave headed in a corner at the far post to put Dundee in the lead. Lothian equalised with ten minutes left in highly controversial circumstances. A Lothian corner seemed to turn into a foul on the keeper and the assistant held up his flag, while the ball was bundled in. Despite the referee speaking to his assistant in an attempt to clarify the position, confusion reigned. It was obvious that the assistant had no idea what was going on and the referee incorrectly awarded a goal.

Dundee had the chance to put this behind them when it came to penalties but, with one hitting the post and two being saved, even Matty Galloway's two saves counted for nothing as Lothian won it with the first sudden-death kick. So Lothian won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw and Dundee go out at the quarterfinal stage for the second year in succession.

U15s INTO SEMIFINAL

Tues 4 Feb - Dundee reached the semifinal of the TSB U15 National Trophy after beating Aberdeen on penalties at Banks o'Dee's Spain Park. After a goalless first half two goals from Taylor Carroll put Dundee in the driving seat, but Aberdeen pulled one back in the last minute. In an interminable period of additional time Aberdeen were awarded a penalty and scored to make it 2-2. Dundee eventually won 5-4 on penalties after 7 kicks each and now play home to Aberdeenshire who beat Fife 3-1 in Inverurie on the same day.

NATIONAL TROPHY DATES

Fri 17 Jan - The quarterfinal of the TSB U15 National Trophy is arranged for Banks o'Dee's Spain Park on Tuesday 4th February with a 1.00 kick-off. The Senior quarterfinal against Lothian is pencilled in for Friday 28th February in Edinburgh in the early afternoon, venue and kick-off time to be confirmed.

PRIMARY DATE / QUARTERFINAL DRAWS

Mon 6 Jan - The 2nd day of the Primary Inter-Association Sevens is set for Tuesday 11th March at Toryglen.

In the quarterfinals of the TSB National Trophy competitions Dundee travel to Aberdeen in the U15s while Dundee go to Edinburgh to play Lothian in the Seniors.

If the U15s won their quarterfinal, they would then face a home semifinal against Aberdeenshire (previous opponents) or Fife.

If the Seniors beat Lothian in their quarterfinal, they would then travel to play North of Scotland (previous opponents) or Forth Valley.

The quarterfinals are due to take place before the end of January.

U15s AND SENIORS BOTH QUALIFY

Wed 11 Dec - Dundee qualified for the quarterfinals of both the TSB U15 National Trophy and the TSB Senior National Trophy after today's games in Inverurie. The games between Aberdeenshire and North of Scotland finally took place today in Inverurie at the third attempt following two postponements, first because of snow then because of the gale-force winds.

The U15 game ended 2-1 for Aberdeenshire which meant they topped the group with 9 points, Dundee were second with 6 points, North third with 3 and Angus fourth with 0. So Dundee qualify for an away game in the quarterfinal against Aberdeen, Ayrshire or Lanarkshire.

The Senior game ended in a 7-0 win for North of Scotland who overtake Dundee to win the group on goal difference. North finish 1st on 6 points (+8), Dundee were second with 6 points (+5), Angus third with 6 points (0) and Aberdeenshire bottom on 0 points and not even a goal to their name in three games. So Dundee will now play away in the quarterfinal against Aberdeen, Lothian or Glasgow.

U15s BEAT ANGUS - NOW THE WAIT BEGINS

Thur 21 Nov - Dundee won their last TSB U15 National Trophy Group 2 game beating Angus 2-1 at Station Park, Forfar. Dundee took the lead in the 10th minute when captain Ryan Smith headed in a free kick at the far post. In the 26th minute Dundee doubled the lead when Rory Faulkner rose to head in a Taylor Carroll cross from the left, his second goal of the campaign.

Angus fought back well and a cracking left-foot strike made it 2-1 just five minutes after the break. The game became a fairly even contest in the last half hour with both sides having chances to score, but there were no more goals, so Dundee won 2-1.

With one game left it is too early to say whether Dundee will be in the quarterfinal draw or not. The outstanding game is Aberdeenshire v. North of Scotland which was called off on Tuesday because of overnight snow in Inverurie and will probably take place in early December.

At the moment Aberdeenshire top the group with 6 points and a goal difference of +10, while Dundee have finished with 6 points and a goal difference of +1. If Aberdeenshire win or draw, Dundee will qualify. For North of Scotland to knock Dundee out of the qualifying places they would need to beat Aberdeenshire by 3 clear goals. We just need to sit back and wait .......

Wed 20 Nov - Dundee qualified for the TSB Senior National Trophy Quarterfinal despite a 1-0 defeat to Angus at Station Park, Forfar.

Angus scored the only goal with a firm header from 12 yards in the 15th minute. Dundee had the majority of the pressure but could not turn it into goals. Angus defended well and the nearest Dundee came to scoring was when Josh Skelly struck the base of the post on the hour.

It was not all doom and gloom as Dundee's goal difference from their earlier matches meant that a 1-0 defeat was still within the comfort zone. Dundee will be in the hat for the quarterfinal draw.

Today's game should have been the final one in Group 2 but Tuesday's game between Aberdeenshire and North of Scotland had to be cancelled when Inverurie awoke to a blanket of snow. The game will be rearranged, probably for early December. There are various possibilities now :

if Aberdeenshire beat North of Scotland or it is a draw, Dundee would finish top and Angus would also qualify in second;

if North of Scotland win, they would qualify with Dundee;

if North of Scotland win by 5 goals, or a 4 goal margin where Aberdeenshire score (such as 5-1 or 6-2 for North) then North of Scotland would qualify in top spot with Dundee second.

The team finishing top of the group is guaranteed a home tie, while the team finishing second plays away from home.

U15s BEAT NORTH AT RIVERSIDE

Wed 13 Nov - Dundee hosted North of Scotland at Riverside in the TSB U15 National Trophy and turned in a good performance to win 3-0.

Dundee made the most of the wind in the first half and led 2-0 at the break. The first goal was an Adam Brown free kick in the 16th minute from wide on the left which floated over everybody and dropped under the bar into the back of the net. Adam Brown then set up the second goal in the 32nd minute with a cross from the bye-line on the left which Ben Mooney headed in at the near post.

The wind was just as strong in the second half but Dundee had the best of the chances. With 12 minutes left Kal Handy wrapped up the scoring with a run up the right and a shot from an acute angle which the keeper dived to grab but the ball had already crossed the line and the goal was awarded.

After the disappointing showing in the first game against Aberdeenshire it was encouraging to see everybody play a solid game in a good team performance. Next week's game in Forfar against Angus will decide whether Dundee make the quarterfinals or not.

Tues 12 Nov - Dundee travelled to play North of Scotland at the Highland Football Academy in Dingwall in their second game in the TSB Senior National Trophy and came away with a hard fought 3-2 win in difficult conditions.

The North had the strong wind at their backs in the first half and led 1-0 at halftime, taking advantage of a defensive slip in the 15th minute. Dundee equalised early in the second half when Patrick Martin pressurised the keeper into a hurried clearance which hit Patrick and bounced into the net. The keeper was soon under pressure again and only cleared a Calum McHardy effort as far as Scott Cameron who thumped the ball in to put Dundee 2-1 up. North fought back and again took advantage of a mistake to equalise. A Calum McHardy through ball set Josh Skelly on his way to grab the winner with 20 minutes left. Dundee had the better of the late chances, hitting the bar and skying one over but the 3-2 win was good reward for the second-half efforts and puts Dundee top with six points before the game with Angus on the 20th. See all the results here.

JOSH SKELLY SCORED THE WINNING GOAL AGAINST NORTH OF SCOTLAND IN DINGWALL

MIXED RESULTS IN THE NATIONAL TROPHY

Tues 1 / Thur 3 Oct - The TSB U15 National Trophy kicked off at Riverside against Aberdeenshire on Tuesday. The visitors had the strong wind at their backs in the first half and led 3-0 at halftime. Kyle Anderson pulled one back after the restart but Aberdeenshire then scored twice. Rory Faulkner scored late in the game to make the result more respectable but the visitors went back up the A90 with a 5-2 win.

On Thursday the Seniors travelled to Inverurie Locos' Harlaw Park and came away with a 5-0 victory. Ranald Bowie was floored in the box but the Aberdeenshire keeper saved Josh Skelly's spot-kick. Josh was not to be denied and scored the opener, crashing a left-foot strike out of reach of the keeper. By halftime it was 2-0 for Dundee when Darren Mackie stretched to connect with a great cross from the left from Ranald Bowie.

Corey Gray grabbed a third after good work by Kieran Dack and Josh Skelly., a thoroughly deserved goal for a hard shift in midfield. Darren Mackie returned the first-half favour as he crossed from the right to set up Ranald Bowie for 4-0, and Josh Skelly finished the scoring at 5-0 when he converted a Scott Cameron cross.

Next games are against North of Scotland, the Seniors playing in Dingwall on Tuesday 12th November, the U15s in Dundee on Wednesday 13th November. The last games are against Angus the following week at Station Park, Forfar, the Seniors on Wednesday 20th and the U15s on Thursday 21st.
